Chapter 313 42 55 vouchers Troy and Hector's shouting match just kept escalating , and Teresa was caught right in the middle , unable to do a thing . Her cheeks flushed with frustration as she shouted at Troy , " Troy , just stop it ! " At her outburst , Troy instantly fell silent . He looked down at her , his eyes burning with anger and resentment . " Why are you only telling me to stop ? What about him ? " As he spoke . Troy raised his hand , pointing accusingly at Hector . Teresa slapped his hand away , her face cold as she said , " Tonight is supposed to be just a normal dinner for me .
Hector , and Sylvia . We're just trying to have a regular night , so please , Mr. Hamilton , don't make a scene ." Her words made it clear there was a line between Troy and the rest of them . Troy was on one side , and they were on the other . Hearing what she said . Troy could already guess what Teresa was about to throw at him , but he didn't want any part of it . He shot back , " Just drop it , okay ? I don't wanna hear it . Fine , I'm out of here . " Troy was the one to step back first . He wasn't chicken - he just couldn't stand Teresa being pissed at him .
Even though it killed him to do it , Troy had no choice but to walk out , feeling totally defeated . Even as he climbed into his car , Troy kept muttering to himself , " You know I only put up with this because I care about you . If it were anybody else , do you really think I'd stick around ? No way . " Teresa didn't hear any of Troy's muttering . She just turned to Hector with a weary look and said , " Hector , let's get out of here . " Seeing how exhausted she looked , Hector felt guilty and quickly apologized , " Sorry for dragging you into this .
" Teresa managed a faint smile and shook her head . " No , I'm the one who should be sorry . " Noticing the guilt written all over her face , Hector hurried to reassure her , " Teresa , this isn't your fault . It's because you're such a great person that guys like Troy just can't help but get wrapped up in your life ... But as Hector spoke , he suddenly paused . Somehow , without even realizing it , he'd ended up actually complimenting Troy . But the truth is , Hector didn't really know Troy at all - just all the tabloid drama and rumors he'd heard about him .
Still , every time Hector saw Troy around Teresa , the guy was always by himself - never with anyone else . After a few moments of quiet , Hector ran his fingers gently across Teresa's furrowed brow . He spoke softly , his 18:41 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 313 voice warm . " Cheer up . Teresa . Don't let this drag you down , alright ? " 42 56 vouchers His touch was soothing , and a soft smile broke on Teresa's lips . She looked up at flector , her voice gentle , " You too . Hector " After that , Teresa turned around and spotted Sylvia still standing there in a daze , lost in her own world .
She looked so out of it , it was kind of funny . Teresa chuckled and called out , " Sylvia , you coming or just going to space out all night ? " Sylvia snapped out of her thoughts and said sheepishly , " Oh , right , I'm coming ! " Once they were out of the restaurant , Hector suggested they drop Sylvia off first . No one had any objections - after all , Sylvia lives just nearby . After making sure Sylvia got back to her hotel room safe and sound , Teresa and Hector stepped out together .

They'd barely reached the curb when Teresa spotted a Maserati across the street - her eyes locked right on it . She recognized it instantly - that was Charles's ride . Teresa froze , hand on Hector's door , eyes glued to the car across from them . The driver's window was down , giving her a crystal - clear view inside . Charles was sitting with his back to Teresa , while Naomi was in the passenger seat , facing directly toward her . Naomi was so absorbed in her passion that she had no clue Teresa was watching . She had both hands on Charles's face , kissing him like nothing else mattered .
Charles's hand was wrapped around her waist , and her dress had slipped down off her shoulder , exposing more of her silky , flawless skin . Under the warm orange glow , Naomi's bare skin shimmered with a soft , almost ethereal light . Teresa found herself floored by the steamy scene unfolding right in front of her . She hadn't expected to catch them getting so hot and heavy in the car - with the window wide everything , not even bothering to hide it .
open and She paused for a moment , just as she was about to reach for Hector's car door , when a hand suddenly reached around from behind and covered her eyes . In that instant , everything went black - she couldn't see a thing . Realizing Hector didn't want her to witness that shameless scene , Teresa's lips curled into a grateful little smile . She softly took his hand away , turned to him , and said , " It's fine , Hector . Seriously , I'm used to this kind of thing .
" Hector glanced down at her - she was smiling , but the sorrow in her eyes gave it all away , no matter how hard she tried to hide it . 18:41 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 313 Hector felt a stab of sympathy for her , but words failed him . Finally , before he even realized it , Hector gently drew Teresa into his arms . 42 65 vouchers His shoulders were broad and warm , and as Teresa was held close , her eyes suddenly turned red with emotion .
Meanwhile , sitting in his car , Charles had just figured out where Teresa was and was waiting for her at the corner - he hadn't counted on Naomi showing up out of the blue . The moment Naomi climbed in , she skipped the greetings , started yanking at her dress , and launched herself at Charles , kissing him like she just couldn't get enough . For someone so petite , Naomi was surprisingly fierce - she clung to Charles's neck and kissed him hard , like she'd totally lost herself .
Charles wasn't having any of it - he forcefully shoved Naomi aside , and she crashed against the passenger window , then ended up slumping awkwardly and tangled on the seat . Her clothes hung askew on her shoulders , and her hair was a wild mess . Right then , tears poured down her face like a string of broken pearls . Naomi buried her face in her hands , struggling to stifle her sobs . Seeing Naomi like that , Charles irritably glanced out the car window . Just one look , and he spotted Teresa and Hector across the street .
Hector was holding Teresa , his large hand softly stroking her back again and again . Right then , Charles stopped caring altogether about Naomi's teary meltdown in the car . He swung the door open and marched out without even glancing her way . Pacing straight across the street , he called out loudly , his voice sharp and commanding , " Teresa , just what do you think you're doing ? " Hearing Charles , Teresa eased herself out of Hector's arms - her eyes tinged red , but not a single tear had fallen . She met Charles's gaze with a dismissive smirk and shot back , " And you ?
What exactly were you up to over there ? " Charles realized Teresa probably saw him making out with Naomi and must've gotten the wrong idea- maybe that's why she let Hector comfort her . Getting anxious , Charles called out , " It's not what it looked like with me and Naomi . Come here , Teresa , let's talk and I'll explain everything ." As he spoke , Charles reached out his hand for Teresa . 18:41 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 313 民 零 1255 vouchers Teresa glanced down at his outstretched hand , a soft , almost chilling smile crossing her lips .
She lowered her voice , sounding detached and a bit resigned . " It's fine . It's really not that big of a deal anyway " Charles couldn't shake the feeling that her smile was downright unsettling . He tried to sound reassuring , but there was still that edge of unease in his voice . " Just come here , okay ? Let's go back ." Teresa looked at him , hesitating for a long moment before finally saying , " Alright ." Charles had barely started to smile when Teresa shot back , voice icy and unwavering , " Well , I'm riding with Hector - end of story .
" Before he could say anything else , she slipped right into Hector's car without so much as a glance his way . Hector got in , then shot Teresa a worried look . " You really want to go back ? " Teresa turned to him , her lips curling into a gentle smile . " Yeah , I want to . It's just a few more days , anyway ." Hector got exactly what Teresa meant . He had no other choice , so he just turned the key and drove off . On the way to Joyacre Villa , Hector was still uneasy . He glanced at Teresa and said , " If anything comes up, just reach out to me .
I know I'm really not that capable , but I'll do whatever it takes to protect you ." Teresa replied , " Okay . " Soon enough , Hector pulled up at the gate of Joyacre Villa . But just as Teresa and Hector's car stopped , Charles's car rolled to a halt too . Charles was just about to step out and open the door for Teresa when Naomi suddenly grabbed his arm , her voice pleading . " Charles , please , don't go over there . " AD Comment Send gift
